[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if there was no quid pro quo, why was the money withheld? Why did the Ukranians think there was a quid pro quo?

If agreement wasn’t a prerequisite for aid, that means aid would have been delivered even if they didn’t agree. So why hold up aid to begin with? That doesn’t add up. Trump’s own defense doesn’t make sense without a quid quo pro.[/quote]

It sounds like some of these deep state bureaucrats were getting too far out over their skis.  To put pressure on the Ukrainians, they may have said or implied a quid pro quo.  But Trump never instructed them to do that.

These deep state bureaucrats are used to saying whatever they want under the assumption that no one is ever going to know.  They could make any kind of threats or promises that they want to get the desired result.  That doesn't mean it was ordered by Trump.

No, lack of a quid pro quo doesn't mean aid would have been delivered even if they didn't agree.  It means the two things are not linked.[/quote]

So the new argument is that he never explicitly directed them to do this?  They should all go to jail but not him right?  Because obviously what was done was highly wrong and illegal.[/quote]

Actually, it wasn't illegal.  That's why the Democrats don't know what to do with themselves.   There's simply no legal prohibition against an American official, in this case the President, requesting assistance of a foreign government for investigations of crimes committed on foreign soil.  Clearly the Obama Administration did that in the case of its investigations of the Trump campaign in 2016; assistance was sought, and received, from multiple foreign governments.[/quote]

omg the gaslighting continues
